Diamond Aviation

This is one of the best flight schools in the bay area. Ask for Keith or Bob. They have a very good flight syllabus that they will use to give you the most thorough Cessna 172 instruction that you’ll find. I learned how to fly here years and years ago and I’m still flying safely today!

I received by private pilot license at Diamond Aviation. I chose Diamond because they have a great reputation as being a fop notch flight school with modern aircraft at San Carlos Airport. The level of professional instruction I received and Diamond has been a great foundation for my flying career. Diamond has some of the best Flight Instructors around. I also liked Diamond’s modern Glass Cockpit G1000 equipped fleet of aircraft for increased safety.

As a young girl, I’ve always wanted to fly an airplane — it was my dream. Getting my own private pilot certificate is one of my goals, which I plan to achieve before 30. I have an addiction to planes!!! I love them and everything about them.
So, my BFF surprised me and brought me here last Sunday and it was the best experience I’ve ever had! It was my first time flying in a private plane. I’m thrilled and I can’t wait to come back. John Bell Jr. was our flight instructor. He was very motivational and positive throughout the whole instruction. He allows you to have full control and only takes over when necessary, which was only during landing for our situation.
Not only is the instructor nice and very knowledgeable, the area we flew over is gorgeous!!! It was the perfect day to fly — only took us 15 minutes to get to Half Moon Bay, which takes at least 45 minutes by car. The mountains, ocean, beach were all so pretty. I loved the color of the bright blue ocean and enjoyed flying over the Ritz Carlton Resort. It was such an amazing day. The sky is the limit!!!

Super Professional Operation and Super Nice Airplanes. By far the best school on the field plus it has a great vibe.
